SF
Performance Horses seeks to develop quiet, well-rounded, performance horses that
are suitable for team roping and other performance events.
Our past customers keep in touch for
news on our upcoming prospects, recommend our horses to others, and come from both near and far (from
the local, across Western Canada, as well as down to California).
History
SF Performance Horses
is a subsidiary of SF Ranching, owned and operated by Chris & Ronda Sayers.
The ranch is part of the original homestead, and is over 120 years old.
The original Sayer Farms (hence the "SF")
was transitioned from the family grain farm to a commercial cattle ranch,
to expose our performance horses to commercial and
long-horn cattle.
SF Horses
All SF Performance
Horses are taught reining basics, worked on cattle in the round pen, used around
cattle in-and-out of the arena, have a number of hours spent in the practice
pen, and are finished through hauling to their respective events to compete and
become seasoned. Each horse is dewormed and shod/trimmed on a regular
schedule, and will also visit the Equine Dentist to start a regular maintenance
program.
Facilities
We enjoy a secluded
spot with facilities that include:
-
90' round pen
for roundpen work
-
120' round pen
for working cattle
-
180
x 250' outdoor practice arena
-
3500+ acres
for cattle-related jobs (checking fence, moving cattle, treating cattle, etc.)

-

indoor riding arena.
